What a beautiful day: good conversation with Jörg, beautiful sunshine, very easy pace and legs that feel like part of my body again! Could have run for hours!

Got hard after 15 km and my legs got sore, but I never ran more volume in my life. I think (and hope) that is okay at this time (4 weeks to go until Ulm Marathon!)

After an exhausting weekend because of the celebration of my wifes' 40th birthday and a few beers with my old running friend Jens, it was hard to get into the running shoes today! But then it was quite good!

Einstein-Marathon Ulm: with 3:11:53 hrs, I ran a new PB by almost 4 minutes. But to be honest, I wanted to sub 3:10. Despite the growing wind, we had almost perfect conditions. But I knew from km 15 on, that 3:10 would be hard today. At halfmarathon, I got passed by the first woman which demoralized me a bit. Fortunatly, a Marathon-relay-runner kept me going from km 23-35, but the splits were already a bit over 4:30/km. After that, it was a big fight. At least I passed the first woman and a few other runners between 35 and 40 km. And my splits didn't get as slow as in the marathons before. Also, I had no cramps. It's a long way until sub 3, and I'm not sure if it makes sense...

Race time: 3:11:53 (PB by almost 4 min)

miles last 12 weeks (incl. marathon-race): 536 (862,5 km); avg. 44.7 miles (71,9 km)

miles last 12 months: 2081 (3348,7 km); avg. 40 miles (64,4 km)

Splits:

5k 22:17

10k 22:23

15k 22:19

20k 22:22

HM 1:34:46

25k 22:41

30k 22:35

35k 23:14

40k 23:16

42,2k 10:46 (2. HM 1:37:07), but my GPS says it were 180m more. So those 10:46 are for 2.38 km in reality.
